The Ballet and Dance category’s share of attendance is slightly higher than its share of revenue, which may be attributed to a ticket price ($28.15) which is lower than the average across all categories ($33.65).

The average attendance per performance was 172, above the industry average of 144. However, a lower than industry average ticket price, results in an average revenue per performance ($4,010) being similar to the industry average ($4,020).
